A1den's Manifold CycIopedia.

Volume 1. of this work, now on our table, abundantly fulflls the promises of the publishers prospectus. It is really handsome volume of GAO pages, half Morocco binding, large type, profusely illustrated, and yet sold for the price of 65 cents; cloth binding only 50 cents postage II cents extra. Large discounts even from these prices are allowed to early subscribers. It is to be issed in about thirty volumes.
 The Manifold Cyclopedia is, in many ways, unlike any other Cyclopedia. It undertakes to present a survey of the entire circle of knowledge, whether of words or of things, thus combining the characteristics of a Cyclopedia and a Dictionary, including in its vocabulary every word which has any claim to place in the English language. Its form of publication is as unique as its plan the "Ideal Edition" its publisher calls it, and the popular verdict seems to sustain his claim. It certainly IS delightfully."- con vtn ent It will not be strange if this proves to be the great popular cyclopedia. It certainly is worthy of examination by all searchers after knowledge.

The Cattle Outlook.

The Kansas City Live Stock Indicator, one of the best authorities on the western cattle market, ill discussing the above subject, says:
 "rhere was paid on this market last week for prime corn fed native steers averaging 1911 pounds, $5. 15 per 100 pounds-the highest price paid for some time These cattle were classed as fancy and the price paid, taking everything into consideration, that IS the light supply of that class of cattle on sale and their quail ity, was not wild. This fact is mention ed thus prominently for two reasons: First, to show that 1t pays to raise the best, and second, to direct attention to this fact that values for prime corn fed beeves are exhibiting some improvement.
 ''There has not been time within the past three years when those engaged ill the live stock trade felt more generally hopeful for higher prices of cattle than at the present time. Dependency is giv- ing way to bright anticipations of the future, and these anticipations have some foundations to rest upon, unless all signs are deceptive. What those signs are, hardly need be repeated, for they are too well known to all engaged in the trade, but it may as well be remarked here that they are not 'Cattle Trusts' nor Beef Pools," but reduced supply. "Cattle Trusts" and Beef Pools" were artificial means, intended to be of advantage to producers, or rather to a small coterie of producers, but the natural law, and the one which can be relied upon to do its work surely and effectively, is that of supply and demand-the means by which alone the Live Stock Indicator has al- ways argued the cattle market could be benefited.
 "There are 'ups" and clowns" in all branches of trade, and it new looks as if the cattle producers of the country were no longer to suffer from depressed n,arket D

Developing Mines.

The Denver Tribune Republican says: The manager or superintendent of property in process of transition from prospect to a mine generally encounters many perplexing propositions, and not infrequently Is at loss which horn of a dilem ma to grasp. It IS no easy matter to lay out the developments of an em- bryotic mine so that every part of the underground work will serve the greatest purpose when the property has eventually been developed, and still leave 1t free from seeming unnecessary work and con sequent expense. A prospecting drift of dimensions that will prove acceptable for working avenue IS an eyesore in mine when 1t begins, continues, and ends in barren ground; and low, narrow drift is continual nuisance and loss if used to work a stope through. The same is true of the regularity and course or elevation of levels. A mine or ore body opened up in accurate, square, or rectangular blocks, provided the openings succeed in cutting good ore bodies at practical points, pre- sents most beautiful and long-to- be- remembered sight, while crooked, irregu- lar work, when it might as well have been otherwise, Is sure to elicit criticism from every visitor. Yet level so full of turns and benches that candle cannot be seen 20 feet ahead, but that shows ore on all sides, is better than one run by the transit and disclosing only barren rock.
 In most instances, however, happy medium should be available, affording the practical opening of an ore body, and still maintaining fair regularity in the course and elevation of levels A system of work that will bring within reach oi economical extraction all the ore bodie: of mine, and not leave the impression that huge gophers had been burrowing in the vein without any distinct idea oi the points of compass, system or regu. larity.

Decrease of the Beef Supply.

Gov. Colman commissioner of agricul- ture, has pointed out that so rapid have been the onward strides of our popu- lation that, whereas in 1861 we had 841 head of cattle to the 1000 of population (with scarcely any herds west of the Missouri, and the cattle holdings of the eastern states but half of what they are now) we had in 1885 but 722 head to the 1000 population, though millions of cattle have the ranges west of the Mis- souri, while to-day, from the decimation of the last two winters upon the ranges of Texas and the Northwest, the over stocking of ranges compelling the ruin ous marketing, and still more ruinous, the "spaying of stock" the disparity is far greater. It is evident from these showings, which cannot be questioned, that the second important staple in our food supply, and the principal article of export, ,-meat-i rapidly lessening fro m natural causes viz, the diminished graz ing area, the increased cost of produc- tion, and the enormously swelling pop ulative demand The excess of lands held by the Indians and those withheld from the use of the grazer, by the arbi- trary force of the land office, cannot too soon be made to contribute to the lessen- ing meat supply.

Unferlnented Wine.

The following receipe for the manufac- ture of unfermented wine was handed us by one of our most successful vineyard ists with an emphatic endorsement of its excellence. He says:
 In the first place I stem the grapes an press out the juice into tank, letting 1t stand over night to settle. In the morn ing I rack it off and then filter, thus rendering 1t free from all vegetable mat ter. I also take quantity of black grapes and put them in a boiler, letting them come to boil, in order to produce a dark juice. This juice I also filter. Now, by blending these juices, any shade of wine 1 desire is produced, fl om light pink to deep claret color. 1 then put the wine into boiler (which should be copper, furnished with faucet at the bottom for convenience ill bottling), and let it come to boil, skimming what rises to the surface. It is now ready to draw of into bottles, which should be stand ing in hot water to prevent breaking on the introduction of the hot juice. When the bottles are filled they should be cork ed immediately and then dipped into melted rosin, which seals them air-tight. I think wine made in this way and brou ght into notice would soon become the most popular beverage used, taking the place at dinner that coffee does at the break fast table. Parents would not think, when offering 1t to their children that they might create a desire for strong drink, as that is not stin nulating but lnvIgorating, regulating and system and prOduclnQ q pure rich blood,
 The young lady who would offer this wlne to her New Years caller would not feel that she was giving that which might be the beginning of d dissipated life; but, on the other hand, 1t would be like pre- senting a beautiful cluster of grapes. Al beverage for the sick room, in case oi fev CTS, it would be most refreshing Al an article of culinary use, by boiling down one half, nothing could be better for mince pies, or for making dressing for buildings. As to the marketing oi unfermented wine, everything is in it. favor; instead of having to hold it fo three years before it is marketable, l can be offered immediately, and save great outlay of money. Some may say the cost of bottles would make 1t too ex pensive for common use; but think tht good housewife would husband her wint bottles the same as she does her frui jars for reflling, and 80 the same bottle
 would last an indefinite length of time I think if all our wines were manufac tured in this way the wine grape woul
 not be regarded as it is to-day by larg numbers of our population, as that whicl tends to ruin our boys, but would talk its place side by side with our raisil grapes-one of Gods richest and bes gifts to man.-Pacifc Rural Press.

A singular Cattle Disease.

Dr. Harry Baker, the veterinary sur g con, states the following particulars about strange disease that is afflicting the cattle of N. H. King, in the Quien Sabe valley, and from the effects of which several have already died. The first symptoms manifested are stamping of the hind feet The animal then com mences to bite itself terribly, commence ing at the hind feet and following it up to the hind quarters and Joins. The only other symptom manifested during life is wild appearance of the eyes. Death ensues within twenty-four hours of the first attack. Having made a careful post mortem examination of one of these animals the viscera both of the abdomen and the chest presen ted healthy appear ance. Neither in the brain or spinal cord could any vestige of disease be found. Where the animals bite themselves and rub against the corral the cuticle and sub cutaneous tissues are slightly discolored, and careful examination with the best microscope that could bs obtained failed to detect any parasitic disease. The blood is of bright, arterial color and gives no evidence of blood disease. The doctor is a mem Der of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, and has been ir practice twelve years, but he has never seen any disease resembling the one here described. d.-Hollister Free Lance.

Mining is tonic. No business is less monotonous, no work has so much of hope What in comparison is the selling of dry good? Think of the weariness of book. keeping in comparison. There is the perennial hope of striking it rich"- the chance with every shovel of dirt, with every click of the pick, of finding one's self at the opening of Aladdin's cave. It has the exhilaration of the lot tery, without it's dishonor, it's deathly blanks, its despair. It IS the well-foand- ed hope of good and quick returns of requirement, of the free.to-all chance, together with the "outdoorness," the bivouacking habits of miners, the free and easy life, the quick recovery from ad- verse luck. It is these which render to mining fascination that does not belong to any other kind of o,eupation.- n.--Buf- falo Courier.
